Jason and Travis Kelce have one of the top podcasts out as the brothers have teamed up for the critically acclaimed ‘New Heights’ show presented by Jukes.
With Philadelphia 8-0 and preparing for a Monday night matchup against the Commanders, Hurts talked powerlifting, the MVP race, cooking for his Eagles offensive line, and the thought that he’d be drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2020.
Check below for clips from the episode and a full stream below.

Hurts thought he'd replace Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh
Lost in all the jokes was Hurts telling the brothers that draft night was shocking, mainly because he assumed he’d be learning from Ben Roethlisberger and not Carson Wentz.
Hurts told the Kelce brothers that he was under the assumption Pittsburgh would select him with their second-round pick.
“Their first pick was in the second round, and I thought … I was going to Pittsburgh,” said Hurts.
The Steelers drafted Chase Claypool, and the rest is history.
